Ericho's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[Game_Menu]

You're on fire!

It's unbelievable how someone is able to submit so many good art pieces in such a short time. What makes this especially cool is that I am familiar enough with your work to recognize it. I mean, where else can you see failed projects like this? It's great to think that submissions like this make you think the effort wasn't in vain. It looks like those black shapes represent what you need to click to go onto the next part of the game. The lightning is probably the best part.

The colors here are particularly strong, given how they twist around the screen. The building itself is wonderfully done to show how insane the situation is. It looks like this would have made one awesome game. Hey, if Duke Nukem Forever could come out, than so could this! Even the background is great, with how well the green shapes go around.

[Illuminate my soul]

As good as it gets!

I really have no idea what it is exactly that you are trying to show off in this image, but I do know that it's wonderful! This is so gorgeous if it were a woman I'd marry it! I just love how there's so many things going on in this picture. It seems like the kind of thing you would see on a movie poster. Movies with posters like that never turn out to be that good anyway. This seems more like something that would be on the Evangelion poster. I love how there's something going off in the background.

I'm guessing it might be a shooting star or perhaps some shooting piece of space dust. You have a wonderful description too. It's stuff like this makes me think there will never be a need for a literature portal. You have made so many of these great submissions, you should make a cartoon like this. There is simply so much potential for such a fantastic story that can be brought out in a single image. It looks like some giant beetle.

[Obsolete]

Truly haunting

You really made it look like this was part of a comic you were working on. It's great that you did that because this would make a great story. Even if it never does turn out to be one, at least you left us with this fantastic art piece. I'm getting the feeling t hat this robot is becoming obsolete, hence the title. I so wish that I could read the rest of this, because I don't have much idea as to what is going on! It doesn't really matter, because this artwork is downright fantastic and deserves to be praised.

It looks like this robot has meat on it or something. You really gave it a human appearance with how it appears to be rotting with all the rusty parts. The sunken in eyes are a great touch as well. The shadow effects are wonderfully done as well. You get a wonderful sense that you are taking part in this dark world with little hope at all.

[Clay Alloy]

It paid off

It's nice when you attach a story to something that is an actual photograph. It gives you a great sense of wanting to go out and do something. I really appreciated the little molds and everything in this. What I found to be the most impressive was how I didn't see any fingerprints on the design. I look back at older stuff by Knox and noticed it looked kind of aged compared to more modern things. You really worked hard to do this character justice.

I even like how you put him on this cool looking table top. I guess that might sound weird, but it's an interesting place to have that. It's stuff like this that makes me wish there was more claymation stuff on this website. I would love to see a submission featuring your creations in actual motion. Thank you for working on something so good looking.

[Big Bad Bot]

Wonderful picture!

This looks like it could be the design of a Transformer, but I'm not really sure which one it would be. It kind of resembles Megatron from the Michael Bay movies. I'm not a fan, but I have seen those movies. This character has a very nice demonic appearance to it. The way it looks like it has teeth that are just grinding up at the viewer himself. The red eyes also play a great role in looking intimidating, because of how utterly wild they come across.

I like how there's so many little gadgets and stuff all around his body. The shading is also done wonderfully as well, particularly with how you get a great sense of this looming figure. I love how there's just so many robotic parts that seem to be just strutting out everywhere. It's hard to tell what kind of background he is in. I'm guessing it's just a generic shiny place.

[chinese zodiac]

That is cool!

I'm not a fan of the Chinese zodiac, but dang, was this awesome! It's simply great how you've created so many badass looking pictures of zodiac animals! It's hard to even tell what they all are, they're just so wonderfully designed. I can tell it must have taken a long time to come up with all these different designs. I think my favorite one is that of the ram. Everyone looks so wonderfully cybernatic in this even though it's based on old mythology.

The way these animals just stand around is fantastic. You get a great sense of creating your own world with this macabre picture. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and this one certianly is. I just love the strong usage of shapes and how they strangely interact with each other. It's simply a wonderful thing that you can watch all day. It makes you really appreciate all of the things that other cultures have given us.

[My Sushi Akita]

This is cute

I was expecting something more sexual with such a well drawn picture of a woman. Dang, I have been on this website too long. What really struck me as cool about this was how wonderfully high sprited this looked. The dog and person just look so happy in this and it also helps that they are wonderfully realistically drawn in this. The background is fantastic as well, espeically how it gives off such an authentic painted appearance. Not a sushi fan, though.

It's great to see such a simplistic part of life being represented. Everything has so much depth drawn in this picture, particularly witho how you show the shadings. You get a good sense that there's a dog in this picture because of the shadow. The way both figures in this have their eyes closed is really cute as well. Her hair looks like noodles.

[Daft Punk]

Should please all fans

I am a huge fan of Daft Punk myself and this is certainly a submission that does it justice. I didn't even know the names of the characters there. You really have to get the full animated version to truly enjoy how good it is. It's great to see such gorgeous and lush colors being used with limited pixellation. It's really cute how the guy on the right has a happy face that comes on his helmet in the animation. It's the kind of thing that would make a great gif.

Then again, it's probably too big to be a gif, could be a loading screen. I can already see from your other pictures that you are a fantastic artist. This is exactly how sprites should be used. It's hard to even tell what kind of resolution you are using because it just looks so wonderful. I think the guy on the left has a question mark at the end of his helmet thing. You do great pride to everyone who's a fan of Daft Punk, like me!

[Locust Fo' Evah]

One of your coolest!

What is wrong with these voters giving this a fairly lower than normal rating? This is great because of how wonderful the colors are defined and stuff! A 65 year old trapped in a porn star's body is a pretty scary subject. I like how there are these claws that are just jutting out from her, even though I don't know how they do. I'm guessing those are supposed to be wings, but they could also be claws. I like how all these other monsters are looking at her so funny.

Even the writing is done in a very cool manner. She really does look like she's in a fairly horny mood. I guess it's the tongue. I have little idea what is going on in this picture and I am not even sure if it is supposed to be a representation of something someone else made. It's got lots of great detail and seeing as how this was made close to Christmas, I now wish you a merry Christmas.

MindChamber responds:

haha I really liked making this picture, but its gotta be the lowest score ive gotten here yet! Im assuming people dont like the subject matter?

anyways, those blurry claws are actually leather tassels that drape from her hips,

shes actually grabbing her crotch and thrusting her hips forward, making the tassels bounce around. Though I might not been able to achieve that..

[Hong Kong Phooy]

That's a strong dog!

I was expecting this picture to be really silly or something, but it was anything but. This is easily the most awesome this character has ever looked like! I remember this cartoon from a long time ago. While not one that I particularly remember well, it's great that it created such good fanart like this. It reminds me of the stuff made by bleedman. You are, obviously extremely talented in your own right. If I look closely, I can even see some little bits of fur on his body.

It's detail like that that makes artwork good. Even the way you wrote his name is extremely cool. The cartoon usually makes him out to be foolish, but this is a very different and nice take on the character. I like how he's really looking out at the audience showing that he's ready to go into action. What's also sweet is how well defined the knuckles are.
